Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Thy love.
V. Send forth Thy Spirit and they shall be created.
R. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray. O God, Who didst instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise, and ever to rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord.

Prayer of Those Suffering Miscarriage

My Lord, the baby is dead!
Why, my Lord—dare I ask why? It will not hear the whisper of the wind or see the beauty of its parents’ face—it will not see the beauty of Your creation or the flame of a sunrise. Why, my Lord?

“Why, My child—do you ask ‘why’? Well, I will tell you why.
You see, the child lives. Instead of the wind he hears the sound of angels singing before My throne.
Instead of the beauty that passes he sees everlasting Beauty—he sees My face.
He was created and lived a short time so the image of his parents imprinted on his face may stand before Me as their personal intercessor.
He knows secrets of heaven unknown to men on earth. He laughs with a special joy that only the innocent possess.

My ways are not the ways of man. I create for My Kingdom and each creature fills a place in that Kingdom that could not be filled by another.
He was created for My joy and his parents’ merits. He has never seen pain or sin. He has never felt hunger or pain. I breathed a soul into a seed, made it grow and called it forth.”

I am humbled before you, my Lord, for questioning Your wisdom, goodness, and love. I speak as a fool—forgive me. I acknowledge Your sovereign rights over life and death. I thank You for the life that began for so short a time to enjoy so long an Eternity. -- Mother M. Angelica

First, cook some meat - roasting or braising is preferred. You really can't use drippings from ground beef. Use the butter method and beef stock if you made meatloaf or salisbury steaks.

When the meat is done, take the juices and put them in a gravy separator. It looks like this, and I got a plastic one at the dollar store.The spout is at the bottom, so the fat will rise to the top and you can scoop off the fat.

Scoop off the fat, about two spoonfuls. If you don't have meat drippings, you can use butter - just melt it. Put it in a saucepan on medium high heat. Stir in the same amount of white flour (not bread flour).

Using a whisk, mix the flour and fat around until it is the consistency of playdoh and starts to brown. Don't let it get too dark, though, unless you are cooking a Cajun dish! If it doesn't come together, but just lays there like a curdled egg, add a little more flour.

Cook for a minute or two. Don't let the flour burn to the bottom of the pan.

Whisk in the remaining drippings and or stock/milk/water to make two cups.

Whisk and heat until smooth. As you heat it, it will thicken. You do not have to let it boil. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.

Now, to make sure it is perfect.

Get one of these - mine came in a two pack at the dollar store. It's about 4 inches wide.
